Overview - Rover Receiver

Before you can start your GNSS survey, there are a few things you need to confirm and setup.

Profile and Coordinate System Files

• You will need to determine and select the correct coordinate system and optional geoid model to use for your GNSS survey work.
• Create a profile for your reference (base) and rover receivers. Profiles contain receiver settings such as baud rates and tolerance masks that are used by FieldGenius. Refer to the Reference Configuration and Rover Configuration topics for more information. 

Rover Connection Procedure

1. Main Menu | Connect | Instrument Selection
2. Choose GNSS Rover as the type of instrument.
3. If you have not already done so, you need to create a profile for your rover receiver. If you have a profile already defined, select it now and then press Connect.
4. Once connected, the Link Configure dialog will be displayed where you can configure your correction settings.
5. If setting up your receiver for the first time, additional steps will be required to make the initial connection. Exact steps vary depending on the device type: UHF Radio / GSM / Data Collector Internet.
6. Press the Connect button to begin receiving corrections.
7. With a successful connection you will see the map screen. The Measure button might say "No Link" to begin with, then switch to "RTK Float" and finally to "RTK Fixed".
8. To record a position, simply press the Measure button on the GNSS toolbar. Refer to the GNSS Measurement topic for more information.
